EP 13: When I Became A 'Negro' Travelling On An American Train
17 - 23 August, 1938, USA. Khwaja Ahmad Abbas is so much horrified at the treatment meted out to 'Negros' (Blacks) on an American train that he decides to not eat at all in a dining car where blacks were not allowed. Though as an Indian he could have been allowed but he decided to call himself a 'Negro'. He also writes about his visits to the Harvard University, New York Time Times and other newspaper offices. He concludes Aligarh Muslim University and Banaras Hindu University are better than Harvard!
